Our family of 10 loved... - Our family of 10 loved the Thessaloniki: Walking Open Market Food Tour and Tasting. Helen, our guide, provided great insight into the culture and history of the city as we walked through several traditional markets tasting olives, sweets, savory meat and cheese pies, coffee and other traditional treats. Our small group of 12 allowed us see and hear more than if we had chosen to participate in a shore excursion offerd by the cruise line. We highly recommend this tour to experience Thessaloniki in just a few hours.

A really good experienced - It was both informative and delicious, there was a lot more food than we could eat. It was done at a gentle pace as it was a hot day and there were place to stop and rest. I really liked the bakery and the markets.

Perfect - Really great tour with just the right amount of food and time at each location. Great variety. Our guide, Adria, was sooooo lovely, we wish her well. Excellent recommendation to a local restaurant where we ended up eating 2 nights in a row as we loved the place so much, thank you!

Very informative tour, but with little tasting - Rita was a lovely, knowlegeable & experienced guide. She showed up with a bag of goodies (bread roll, olives, tea, sweets) for my husband and myself, which we took home with us. She guided us around the markets, pointing out foods of interest, local restaurants and explaining how foods are used and prepared. At our coffee break, she gave us different types of pastries and cakes to try, which she had brought with her. However, other than these and some Turkish delight, we ate surprisingly little during the tour itself. It was the first food tour I‘ve taken where I‘ve finished the tour hungry. My suggestion to the tour operator would be to sample more foods during the tour, stopping for small plates of food at different locations instead of being gifted food to take home.

Not happy - Make sure your Cruise ship will enter the port in time for your tour. We were told we could get a refund but we did not. Maybe the tour would've been great but we didn't get a chance to experience.
